Inconsistency between include files.  I forgot the exact reason, but
this came up every now and then.

Pleeeeze, if you run -current, do also subscribe to the list
freebsd-current@freebsd.org!  You will lose important information if
you don't do this.  Current is an experimental system, and it's quite
important to share your experience with all other folks running it.
(And no, please don't report "My programs frequently die with sig 10's
and sig 11's now." unless you can really report more than just this
sentence, that could help the guys to find the reason of this
temporary breakage.  Ah, what, you didn't know about this problem?
Hmm, well, you didn't watch freebsd-current, i suppose? :)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
